Speedo Glass Lens, Fixed my odometer today Options

[solex]

Hello,

Have not posted in a while been busy but have made some progress on a few fronts. Today I removed my speedo to fix the odometer. I would like to replace the plastic lens with one made from glass, pelican does not stock these anymore can I simply get some cut from glass or does anyone have a source?

Also, is there a simply way to increase the lumonisty of the guage bulbs?

Thanks,
Dan

I went to a stained glass shop; one where they sell supplies for artists and gave them the plastic originals. She cut me replacements from anti-glair glass. She also rounded the edges of them on some sort of grinding wheel. They fit nice and look like new (or at least what I imagine new was).

If you have the gauges compleatly apart check to see if the green and red filters that are taped to the back side are faded. Mine were. A photographer friend of mine had some gels that were close. I cut a new piece and taped it in place.
